Cacti Mixed

Formula mix featuring diverse plant habits,
flower forms and colors. Fascinating subjects
for houseplant or greenhouse. Cacti are usually
slow growers and very long-lived in suitable
conditions. (Caution: contains a number of species, some of which may be poisonous. Do not take internally.)

My first few popped up before a week had passed, and they are still coming up. Does anyone know what varieties are in the pack? I would love to look them up and learn more, but they are all just tiny little specks right now. This is my first time trying to grow cacti from seeds, and I am not disappointed -- outside of having no idea what kind are growing. I see several shapes in the seedlings that are up.

I started these under a light with a heat mat exactly 5 days ago and got my first little sprouts this morning! What a surprise! I was afraid I’d have a hard time getting these to grow but already have several coming up. Very pleased and excited to see how each will look.

First of all, let me preface by saying that it was my first time growing anything in this family and that I don't own any heat maps or lamps. When I opened this pack I was glad to see many many seeds. Way more than 25 - probably closer to 100. I sowed them 3 weeks ago, and they started germinating at 2 weeks exactly. Now, they've been germinating for a week, and I have 30 sprouts! I expect to get more over the next several weeks because as I understand, the different varieties don't germinate at the same time. It's way too early to know how many varieties I've got. I'm very pleased, and to anyone who is thinking about buying these, just do it! Be warned, however that collecting cacti and succulents becomes addicting! I'd be over the mood if BC does a succulent mix!

very few had germinated but didnt survive the heat of the rising sun in my area. So I guess I really dont have luck with cacti. I will try to buy this again, I really want to have little cactis in my garden. Next time Ill make sure to put it somewhere cooler. Its my fault why it didnt germinate well. I dont have any idea before on how to plant cactis and succulents.

As someone who's tried to grow cacti from seed for years, I'm proud to say that these are the first that have made it to transplant! It's been a patient couple of years, no doubt, but they're beautiful and grew well, and hopefully they survive being uprooted into their new homes. If you're looking for success, try this mix. That said, I would appreciate a little bit more variety, as I only have two species that are growing, but perhaps on my next try there will be more that make it.
